Why Jurgen Klopp must be the next Manchester United manager

It looks as though it is no longer a question of if, but when, David Moyes will be sacked as Manchester United manager.

Certain media outlets are even suggesting the former Everton boss will be out of Old Trafford tonight – while others claim he will be shown the door at the end of the season.

Whenever it happens the important thing now is for United to look to the future.

The question on everyone’s lips now is simple: who’s next?

Of all the candidates being linked with the job I believe one contender is head and shoulders above the rest.

Jurgen Klopp, the Borussia Dortmund manager, would be perfect.

Klopp has transformed his free flowing disciplined Dortmund side into Champions League finalists while he has also built a side who have challenged the formidable Bayern Munich in Germany.

The central attraction of Klopp is that he can bring in players and motive the current ones to play at a higher level. There was always questions about whether United’s stars were playing for Moyes and whether he could drive or motivate them? Klopp has proven he can.

Klopp could also raid his old club and might persuade Marco Reus and Mats Hummels to come with him.

The pair have been linked with United before and a winger and a centre back are two positions where United are desperate to fill this summer.

Klopp has also shown his tactical ability at Dortmund and has shown he can be trusted to spend money.

I seriously believe that the appointment of Klopp can rejuvenate this United side and his personality would be a breath of fresh air around Manchester. Something the red half of the city are crying out for.
